In the movie world, a sequel is rarely as good as the original.

George Pickens was in no mood to relive the momentum-changing fumble he lost Sunday that contributed to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 27-24 defeat at Indianapolis.

The national media bleats endlessly about Mike Tomlin’s status as one of the NFL’s premier coaches. As I write this, he’s likely getting credit for the Steelers coming back from a 17-0 deficit to have a chance to beat Indianapolis at the death: “A Tomlin team never quits.” But that...
